The most unusu al favor dance of the evening was st a rted by a storm of snow balls wh ich fell from an immen se reel bell which hitherto had "eemed only a decoration.

" \\'hy, it looks just like new !" "But it isn't. Do you know w hat l did, dear : I added the rosette to the brim." "Dear! oh, dear!" murmurs Adams, "I wish I were as clever with my fingers as-". The ball is snapped into play and the fight IS on. E. I. gets the ba ll and the men line up again.

A t this point "T .ong Boy" rec ei\·es a kick from our quarterback, Replogle, which is a signal for him to pass the ball.

G THE VOYAGE OF THE SENIORS OF '26 In the fall of 1922 a wonderful ship with green and white sails flying, started on a voyage of four years. The seamen had all r egistered and their names, ninety-six in all were placed on the ship's recording book. During the first five months a few new passengers came aboard and increased the number to one-hundred. O ur captain for the first year was Miss Ragan, who admirably laid our course during this first year at sea. O ur superior officers and crew consisted of the following: First Half Year Byron Miller ·······--··--·----··-·------·- .. F irst Mate ......... . Max Snyder ..................................

E lla Mae J ackson On February 22 the monotony on board was relieved by a George \:Vashington party, at wh ich the boys pro,ed th emselves good busts to the girls. There followed other good times of less importance. The second year of our voyage found most of us more accustomed to life at sea. Sen ral had become seasick or found the journey too diffi cult and turned back. O ur captain· and pilot that year were Mr. Stover and Miss Sutton. \ Ve sail ed busily on, enjoying both work ( ") and p lay. We were becoming bette r acquaint ed with the sailors we met from othe r ships 111 Ocean Twenty-nine. In September of 1925 we again set sail aft er a vacation on land. \\'e were determined to meet the Senior sh ip, g ive battle, and come out victorious. Our new captain and pilot were M r.

There was an athletic meet in which we excelled Then came the tug of vvar where our strong sailors succeeded in drenching the Seniors in Lake Amoweenah. The remainder of the day was spent at Riverview where games and much dancing was enjoyed by the victors and vanquished. Of course t he peace pipe was smoked.

THE ROAD The road lies like a white ribbon und er the sunn y skies of summer, under the cold snowy skies of winter, under the weeping skies of spring . or under the bleak gray skies of November. It runs down into the valleys, it curves up the hills again , it hides in the cool damp woods. or loses itself in the busy traffic of a city street. But still it lies like a white ribbon through all weather and all places. -Harriet Hallowell-'26 ~rr?~= 2G Page one hundred thirty-nine
